Peneq supplies high-performance Hot Top and Slag Getter materials designed to improve metal feeding efficiency and enhance melt cleanliness in casting operations.
Hot Top Powders
Hot Toppings are exothermic heat-generating powders applied to pouring cups and risers to improve metal feeding during solidification. They are engineered to burn in a controlled manner while producing minimal smoke.
Key Features & Benefits
- Generates controlled exothermic heat to support riser feeding
- Reduces heat loss through insulating effect on risers
- Promotes directional solidification and piping formation for improved feeding
- Low smoke emission during reaction
- Manufactured using high-purity metal powders
- Customizable blends available based on customer requirements
Slag Getter
Slag Getter is a specially formulated mineral blend designed to improve slag control in molten metal systems. It is primarily used in steel applications, but is also effective in certain grey and ductile iron processes.
Key Features & Benefits
- Enhances slag removal efficiency in molten metal
- Optimized particle size distribution for maximum performance with minimal usage
- Effective in steel and selected iron casting applications
- Easy to apply based on ladle size and surface area
- Improves overall melt cleanliness and casting quality
Slag-Getter – Slag Coagulant
Peneq supplies Slag-Getter, a high-performance slag coagulant designed for use in grey iron, ductile iron, and steel casting applications. Engineered for efficiency and cost savings, it improves melt cleanliness and reduces slag-related defects in castings.
Key Features & Benefits
- Effective slag coagulant for steel and iron applications
- Prevents slag carryover into castings
- Reduces overall slag processing time
- Strong coagulation performance for cleaner metal
- Controlled particle size for consistent and reliable results
- Easy to apply and easy to remove
- Optimized usage for improved efficiency and lower consumption
- Supports significant process cost savings
Peneq Slag-Getter enhances melt quality by improving slag removal efficiency and helping deliver cleaner, higher-quality castings.
Peneq supplies the Mastertop hot top compounds, a range of alloy-specific exothermic and insulating materials designed to improve feeding efficiency and reduce shrinkage defects in casting applications.
Mastertop is engineered to create a stable insulating blanket over molten metal, minimizing heat loss and supporting proper directional solidification.
Key Features & Benefits
- Alloy-specific formulations for optimized performance
- Superior insulating and exothermic coverage of molten metal
- Helps prevent atmospheric chilling and heat loss
- Reduces shrinkage-related casting defects
- Promotes proper piping and complete casting feed
- Easy-to-remove slag “puck” formation
- Steady and controlled burn rate
- Low smoke and no offensive odor
- Low-dust formulation available for improved handling safety
